Painting a stock

[LGRANGER]

Highly recommend rapco paints. They hold up incredibly well and look amazing.

This one was done with Rust-oleum textured spray paint and krylon marbelizing spray paint.

To mix things up and break the pattern, I use the webbed packaging that comes with some produce.

If your asking about the image, I took a picture with the rifle on a tripod and then took another photo with identical camera settings with the rifle and tripod removed. Then in a photo editing software overlay the images and erase the tripod from the top image.

I did this Savage stock with Krylon and several coats of matte sealer. Can’t speak to durability yet.

That looks great! Did you use a stencil?

I traced the camo pattern from a really old camo jacket I had. My wife has a small vinyl cutting machine, which cut out the stencil for me. Worked great.

Think you could easily scratch the paint off with your finger nail??

I’ve tried it, seems to tolerate that. Don’t know yet about limbs, deer stands, etc. I figured if it wore off, I would just do it again. It’s was a good rainy day garage project to keep me out of the house.

Here is my Vanguard; I am happy with how it turned out. Just used Krylon and mini paint roller for the texture.

Top to bottom…
My very first.
Krylon stone affect that wouldn’t harden for SH!T put a coat of krylon triple thick glaze on it and the paint soaked it up and became super hard within an hour of me doing so.. then black, white, and silver webbed with light dusting of krylon matte.
2nd
Sponge only with matte clear
3rd
Sponge and webbing with matte clear

A must do for an elderly gentleman
Repaired a fiberglass stock that his father built way back in the day. He’d reached out trying to buy one of my stocks and while talking, I offered to try to repair his for free in lieu of him getting mine.. his grandson is still hunting with it.. pics of finished product to follow in next post as I could only load 10..

I have learned over the years , that the cheaper flat base paints do better overall when cleared with a quality clear coat… clear is your friend.. also I wouldn’t use primer unless I was painting over plastic.. Nason automotive primer (can buy at Napa in a spray can) does really well bonding to shitty plastic stocks that have been wiped down with acetone or MEK.
The repaired stock
(2) 1/8”x1.5”magnesium dowels epoxied into pistol grip, wrapped grip with woven polyester cloth and resin, Cleaned up very little, added texture to grip and forearm.. did the grip to leave as much repair material as possible and make it appealing/meant to be and forearm just to keep things uniform.. coated with cheap flat tan paint, webbed, and clear coat..
